The 2300 block of Pacific Highway East doesn’t have streetlights or crosswalks and the deputy said he didn’t see the pedestrian.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police shut down part of the road while they investigated. It reopened about 8 a.m.

On June 13, Molina fatally shot 20-year-old Tommy Le after responding to reports that a man with a sharp object was threatening people in Burien.

Deputies confronted Le, who refused commands to drop “what they thought was a knife,” sheriff’s spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West said last month.

When Le reportedly moved toward deputies, Molina opened fire. The sheriff’s office later said Le had been holding a pen, not a knife.

After the shooting Molina was placed on administrative leave, but returned to work with the approval of a psychologist, West said. He was again placed on leave Friday after the accident with the pedestrian.
